About St Albans Leisure Centre
Welcome to St Albans Leisure Centre, now known as the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre! Located at 90 Taylors Road in Keilor Downs, Australia, this state-of-the-art facility opened its doors to the public on September 12, 2022.
Replacing the old St Albans Leisure Centre, this exciting and ambitious project was initiated by the Brimbank City Council in November 2016. The council, including elected members such as Cr Daniel Allan, Cr Lucinda Congreve, and Cr Victoria Borg, pledged to deliver a modern and sustainable centre for the community. After awarding contracts for design and construction, and giving approval for construction to begin, the council continued to oversee the various stages of the project, with the help of the newly elected council in November 2020.
One of the highlights of the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre is its sustainable design, which has been recognized by the Green Building Council of Australia. The centre has achieved a 6-Star Green Star Design & As Built v1.2 rating, making it the first indoor aquatic centre in Australia to achieve this prestigious rating. This acknowledgment reflects the council's commitment to creating a facility that not only serves the community's needs but also prioritizes environmental sustainability.
In addition to its impressive design, the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre also embraces Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recognition initiatives. Working closely with the Brimbank Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Committee (BATSICC), the council has implemented various initiatives to recognize and celebrate the culture and inclusion of Indigenous communities. These initiatives include the recruitment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, showcasing Aboriginal artwork in the foyer, and adopting Aboriginal room names that represent the diverse population of Brimbank.
The centre offers a range of amenities and facilities to cater to the community's needs. Alongside the aquatic and wellness areas, there is a café, multiple wet and dry change rooms (including family change facilities), and a crèche. The goal was to create a space where the community can exercise, stay healthy, and have fun, all while accessing comprehensive health and wellbeing services under one roof.
The Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre has been made possible through the support of the Victorian Government, which provided a generous $2 million grant. The Australian Government has also committed $1.53 million towards an integrated renewable energy system, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable practices.
With a total project cost exceeding $60 million, including design and consultancy fees, construction costs, and facility fit-out, the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre stands as a testament to the council's dedication to improving the community's quality of life. We would like to express our gratitude to the people of Brimbank for their support and patience throughout the planning, development, and construction phases of this remarkable facility.
Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Wurundjeri and Bunurong Peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre stands. We honor their Elders, both past and present, and commit to preserving their cultural heritage for future generations.

Reviews of St Albans Leisure Centre
"Things to be improved are the staff. I know it is a big place but please hire staff that knows what they doing. People walking in their underwear between pools, dirty change rooms, People cleaning their mouths while in spas and saunas and staff are not ready to approach and caution these people... I thought we would have learnt our lesson after Covid."
"It has been redeveloped so nicely, I love everything about it."
"Won't even answer the phone on a week day, have tried using evrry number option and still nothing. How do you speak to a customer service operator or is the joint ran by bloody robots?"
"I saw some comments relating to the cleaness of the water. I thought I come to check it out myself. Disappointing, the water is a bit merky. Despite the pool area been big and spacious. I have swammed in many public pool in Melbourne and this one is definitely not on the clean list."
"Very child-friendly place with big pools and professional swimming instructors and lifeguards on duty."
